Yay! (though I haven't gotten to see her yet! can't wait though!)<BR/><BR/>Still it's unbelievable that, as you say, a new season has come. The friendship between you and Mary has been a beautiful thing to witness. Your dad's words are so good and true - thanks for sharing it with us, and sharing your heart as you say "matane" to your (our) good friend.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550277980735237202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15221347.post-70490532349697835432008-02-06T11:20:00.000-08:002008-02-06T11:20:00.000-08:00I do not cry often, but you have made me well up i...I do not cry often, but you have made me well up inside and out. I must admit I am very excited to have Mary back in Omaha, but would never exchange her time in Japan to have her back sooner. I feel privileged to have been a part of her life and yours during these last couple years. What an amazing journey!!! Your dad’s words were very profound. I appreciated his insight and wisdom.

Mark must have thought of that. <BR/><BR/>I agree with Jer that I enjoyed what your Dad shared with you about love. Ed, I like your nuggests of wisdom.<BR/><BR/>You can't possibly think that the sashimi you ate was more amazing than Sushi-dai, right?!<BR/><BR/>Nice headband, by the way. ;)Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443762744919644732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15221347.post-56562520502436228312008-02-05T23:51:00.000-08:002008-02-05T23:51:00.000-08:00oh ghee.. i'me welling up with emotions here. i fe...oh ghee.. i'me welling up with emotions here. i feel so sad that this chapter in Mary's life (and yours) has come to a close. i really enjoyed what your dad had to share though.Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610610809890674550noreply@blogger.com
